Major action in Rs 43.13 crore Chitrakoot treasury scam: 15 arrested including 11 pensioners and four middlemen

Chitrakoot, Oct 29 (UNI) In a significant development in the Rs 43.13 crore treasury scam, police arrested 11 pensioners and four middlemen involved in the large-scale financial fraud, officials confirmed today. Reports said that following day-long questioning yesterday, all the accused were taken for medical examination at the district hospital and later produced before the Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM), who sent them to judicial custody.
Among those sent to jail are three women pensioners and four middlemen. The middlemen allegedly acted as intermediaries, connecting pensioners with treasury officials and facilitating illegal transactions. Under the guise of “additional pension payments,” large sums of money were transferred into pensioners’ accounts and later shared among the conspirators.
The scam came to light during an audit, after which the Chief Treasury Officer filed a case against several officials, including deceased ledger clerk Sandeep Srivastava, Ashok Verma, ATO Vikas Singh Sachan, retired ATO Avadhesh Pratap Singh, and 93 pensioners.
